In a popular magic routine known as "multiplying billiard balls", magicians fool their audience by using an empty shell that the audience believes to be a complete ball.

At same time, improvement technology photography methods provide more chances for female spectators to seek as counterparts films. The lesbian is a category th...

In the present work, we have investigated the CO dissociation on corrugated Ru(1121) and the stepped Ru(0001) surfaces by means of density functional theory with slab models. Our results show that, while the direct CO dissociation is preferred on the six-fold site of Ru(1121), the H-assisted CO dissociation is found to be favored on the B5 site of the stepped Ru(0001) surface. Furthermore, we h...

We present our ongoing research into the mechanisms underlying the lived experience of "togetherness" associated with such practices. Togetherness in collective dance improvisation is kinaesthetic (based ...

According to recent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies, spectators of a movie may share similar spatiotemporal patterns of brain activity. We aimed to extend these findings of intersubject correlation to temporally accurate single-trial magnetoencephalography (MEG). A silent 15-min black-and-white movie was shown to eight subjects twice. We adopted a spatial filtering model an...
